Let us verify each match step-by-step:
Step 1: Match for A
We need to find the slope of the tangent to the curve at the point where .
The slope of the tangent to a curve at any point is given by the derivative of with respect to , denoted as .
Differentiating with respect to :
Now, we substitute into the derivative to find the slope at that point:
Thus, A matches with II.
Step 2: Match for B
We need to find the slope of the line passing through the points and .
The formula for the slope of a line passing through two points and is:
Substituting the given coordinates and into the formula:
Thus, B matches with III.
Step 3: Match for C
We need to find the point on the curve where the slope of the tangent is .
Let us find the derivative of the curve with respect to :
We set this slope equal to :
Dividing both sides by 2 gives:
Squaring both sides:
Now, find the corresponding y-coordinate on the curve:
So, the point is .
Thus, C matches with IV.
Step 4: Match for D
We need to find the slope of the normal to the curve at .
First, find the derivative using the quotient rule:
At , the slope of the tangent () is:
The slope of the normal () is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent:
Thus, D matches with I.
